The problem

Good signal doesn't always mean a good connection

Fixed wireless depends on what's happening at one specific address. Maps built for phones don't tell you much about how a home connection will perform, and that gap is where returns come from.

How it usually goes

  1. 1A customer orders online and the router ships based on a carrier map or a zip code check.
  2. 2The router boots up and connects to whichever network has the strongest signal.
  3. 3Speeds are slower than the customer expected, and support spends days trying to help.
  4. 4The router comes back. You've paid for shipping twice, refurbishing and the support time.

With CoverageMap

  • You check the address at checkout and see real median download speeds on every network.
  • Orders ship only where a fast 5G connection is likely. Everyone else gets a better-fit offer.
  • The router arrives already set up for the fastest network at that home.
  • The customer plugs it in, it works, and it stays plugged in.

How it helps

Check every address and set up every device for speed

Prevent returns

Check the address before you ship

Send us the customer's address at checkout or right before fulfillment. You'll get signal strength and real-world download and upload speeds for each carrier at that spot, so you only approve orders that are likely to get a fast connection.

  • Real speeds, not just signal bars
  • Median download, upload and latency from nearby tests
  • A heads-up when people nearby couldn't connect at all
  • Checks at checkout or in an overnight batch
Qualify service areas

Ship only where 5G really performs

LTE and 5G are scored separately at every address. Customers in strong 5G areas go straight to fulfillment, and everyone else can be offered a different plan or a spot on the waitlist before they buy.

  • Separate LTE and 5G results for every carrier
  • Speed and score thresholds you set yourself
  • Eligibility that matches real-world performance
  • Honest expectations that lead to better reviews
Pre-provision

Put each router on the fastest network before it ships

If your device can switch carriers, use the customer's address to pick the best one ahead of time. They plug it in and it just works, without spending minutes hunting for networks or settling on a strong signal that turns out to be slow.

  • Quicker setup and fewer day-one support calls
  • Networks chosen for speed as well as signal
  • Faster connections and happier customers
  • The same great first experience on every order

The data

Speed data from real homes nearby

Carrier maps show where a network says it has coverage. We add what people nearby actually measured, which gives you a much better read on the experience your customer will have.

Will it be fast enough?

speed-testsdownloadSpeed.med · uploadSpeed.med

Median speeds from real tests near the home, reported separately for LTE and 5G.

Is 5G really there?

fcc-coveragecoverage.halfKilometer

The share of the area within 0.5 km that each carrier reports as covered.

Which network should the router use?

summaryperformance

Based on the speeds and response times of nearby tests, and lowered by failed tests. Use it instead of overall, which weights coverage most heavily.

Explore all three datasets and every field

  • FCC Broadband Data CollectionCarrier-reported coverage, cleaned up so carriers can be compared, and refreshed within days of every release.
  • Real speed testsResults from the CoverageMap app, website and open-source tools, added continuously.
  • Honest about confidenceEvery score says whether it was measured or estimated, and how close the tests were.
Pricing

As little as $0.20 per address for a full check

A full check with all three datasets costs as little as $0.20 per address at volume. That is less than the shipping, refurbishing and support time behind one returned router.

FAQ

Common questions

Can we run checks during checkout?

Yes. Send a single address and you'll get JSON back that your site can use right away. Use a domain-restricted key for calls from the browser and keep an unrestricted key on your servers.

What happens if an address can't be found?

That location comes back with an error and you aren't charged for it. Everything else in the batch still goes through.

Which carriers are included?

AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are on every plan. Enterprise plans can add regional carriers.

Can we save the results?

Yes. On paid plans you can cache and store responses while your subscription is active, so you only need to check each address once. If you unsubscribe, you must delete the results you kept.
